Need help with mirrors for towing?

Hi all!
I just bought a 29' camper and need help. I am trying to find a solution to extend my mirrors so I can see what's behind my trailer while driving. I have a 2001 Expedition EB with mirrors that have turn signals built in. And the pair of extensions I found do not fit over those type of mirrors. I don't want to have to replace the whole mirror with some aftermarket mirrors unless I absolutely have to. Trying to find a solution without having to spend too much money on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all

I have tried all kinds of towing mirrors, and have towed our 26' trailer over 13000 miles over the past 3 years. The pair I finally found and will keep until they break are these:

Amazon.com: **** 11650, Deluxe Door Mount Towing Mirror: Automotive Amazon.com: **** 11650, Deluxe Door Mount Towing Mirror: Automotive

The **** 11650. Once you set them up and adjust them they are super easy to pop on and need little adjusting again. Plus they barely vibrate at all, unlike the other two sets I tried.

They also are universal so will move to any truck you get in the future.

Thank you, these do look pretty good. The only thing I saw that it says it does not fit the doors with plastic molding and my Expedition has plastic molding strip on the bottom of the door (I think standard thing for Eddie Bauer edition). Does your Expedition have the same thing. Just want to make sure it will fit before I order it
Thanks a lot
